I like simple magic items that enhance or change the way things are usually done during play. The following wonderous item for Pathfinder RPG is fairly simple, and while fairly simple, doesn’t really change the game. What I feel it does do is encourage players to perhaps take the road less travelled when it comes to interacting with NPCs for vital information. In my group, we tend to steer clear of most sexual situations. Well, maybe if I drop something like the following magic item into a campaign (after having it used on them), I can foster some more interesting roleplay.
Kohl of Seduction
Aura faint enchantment; CL 3rd
Slot —; Price 80 gp; Weight — lb.
DESCRIPTION
This jet black cosmetic made from soot and vegetable oil is contained in a small round tin. When successfully (DC 15 Craft [appropriate craft] or Disguise check) applied as mascara or decoration to the eyes and face, it imbues the wearer with enhanced sexual appeal. The kohl provides a +3 enhancement bonus on Bluff and Diplomacy checks that involve sexual innuendo or seduction. A fresh tin includes enough make-up for 5 applications. If the check to apply the kohl is failed, the application is wasted.

A useful trinket. Any plans to develop some items for 4e?
Wimwick’s last blog post..Month in Review: April 2009
@Wimwick: I don’t have plans not to… I just haven’t made any items or explored the limits of 4e’s magic item system like I have with 3.x/Pathfinder.
